four Victorian Snow Fairy designs!
The beauty of cobalt blue, the magic of sparking snow and wings, like a vision from Victorian times! Snow fairies in finery alight atop a blue-spruce tree. As fairy art, the painting also speaks to me of the love between a mother and daughter, a mentor and girl, or between sisters. I believe it to be about affection, protection and tenderness. In the first week of February 2010, a light snow fell upon my town. Two of my small vinyl dolls braved the snow to balance on a blue spruce tree for photos. I created new faces and made costume changes. The blue-floral dress was designed by Tracy of sewmanydreams from an MHD doll pattern. The child fairy's white dress and bonnet were inspired by a Boneka doll outfit. I added a broach, a crystal jewel, pearls, and blue lace. My web page shows the under-paintings (first paint layers, imprimaturs). The broad shapes of paint establish the art design (light and dark areas). Each one is a guide, similar to an armature created by a sculptor. Web Page (http://nancyleemoran.com/FairySnow2011.php) Buy a framed print of this art on Fine Art America.
